Prostheceraeus roseus was one of the first species collected during this study, first in summer of 2010, then in autumn of 2013 (14/05/2010 and 10/10/2013). Two specimens were captured in the mouth of the Ria de Arosa in Corrubedo: one on a rocky wall in “Canteiro”, at a depth of 27 metres (42°30.5540N, 009°05.1260W), and the other on Pycnoclavella producta (Ascidiacea) in “A Dianteira”, at a depth of 23 metres (42°30.9100N, 009°04.3750W). Prostheceraeus roseus is also known from the Gulf of Naples, Italy (Lang 1884). These findings represent the first record for the Atlantic coast outside the Mediterranean Sea.
